After a fantastic assembly, Year Six visited the cenotaph in Whitburn to lay painted stones to commemorate the fallen soldiers in WW1 and WW2.
On Monday 29th October, Year Six took part in a Humanities Walk into Whitburn as part of their History, Geography and RE studies. They looked at buildings in Whitburn that were in place before and during The Second World War, those which had changed function and at some sites where land had been changed specially for the demands of the war. One such place was the site of the old football ground on Lizard Lane which now has allotments and part of the cemetery on.
The children have also been learning about the features and functions of Churches and had the opportunity to visit our local Parish Church. This helped them to find out about church history- myths and truths. Why not ask your child what they found out? It was very interesting as the whole class paid attention and were extremely well-behaved during the visit. Well done Year Six.

Some of the class kneel at the communion rail where the bread and wine are usually distributed.
Today, Year Six were lucky enough to take part in the Monozukuri Caravan event at Nissan. The children competed in a Lego production line competition, raced model F1 cars, tried their hand at using factory tools and found out lots about the car manufacturing industry. I’m sure we have one or two future engineers and technicians in the making! Prior to the event, the children were asked to design a new logo for the event and the well-deserved winners were Ella and Finlay. Runners up were Ruby and Emily M. Two lucky children also received a very special message from a Nissan robot! All children were rewarded for excellent participation with delicious cookies and a goodie bag! Here’s our fantastic day in pictures ……
In Year Three we have been working hard on our reading. Our superstar readers got a special treat in the library this afternoon.
Keep reading Year Three!!
This half term we have been very lucky to offer a Mandarin after school club, organised and delivered by Iris. The children have had lots of fun learning about Mandarin and I’m sure that you will be amazed by the children’s work.
When asked about the after school club, Autumn said that is was “very interesting” and Ellie said that it was “fun to learn a different language”.
Thank you so much for providing the children with this fantastic opportunity, Iris!
We have been learning about Egyptian food in Year Three and today we were able to create an Egyptian meal. We made Egyptian flatbreads with an Egyptian salad. We also tried olives, dates, figs, plums and radishes.
Year 4 had a great time tasting their own delicious cookery.
They researched Italian food, created their own tomato based sauce with John in the hall and finally feasted on the mouth watering dishes.
Year Three had a fantastic visit to The Oriental Museum today. We found out about Egyptian clothes, tools, Gods and mummies. We even got to see a real mummy! It smelled disgusting!!
A special thank you to Emily’s Mum and Lucas’ Mum for helping us have a brilliant day!
